This goes without saying, but make sure to consult your physician before adding new supplements to your routine.
If you follow multiple beauty blogs, you’ve probably seen plenty of these reviews in the past several months, and today it’s finally my turn to tell you about my experience with NeoCell Beauty Bursts. I am very careful about my supplements and don’t take anything without doing my homework on the ingredients, so after some online digging and reading other reviews, I finally decided to give them a try.
NeoCell developed Beauty Bursts Soft Chews as an alternative to traditional solid supplements, because not everyone likes taking pills, and it’s much more pleasant to snack on a piece of delicious taffy. These individually wrapped soft chews contain three key ingredients, instrumental for youthful-looking skin:
- Hyaluronic Acid that is known as one of the most potent moisturizers known to science. It’s one of the key components for healthy joints, plump and moisturized skin, and strong nails. Heard of synovial fluid? It’s loaded with hyaluronic acid!
- Collagen Type I and III help repair the skin faster, and make the skin thicker, firmer, and more resistant to damage over time.
- Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that protects the skin from free radicals, and also helps boost collagen production. It’s my favorite acid to apply topically, too! 🙂
NeoCell Beauty Bursts come in two flavors – Chocolate Mint and Fruit Punch. I am very picky about my chocolate mint treats, because some of them can taste too chemical for my palate, so I opted in for the latter and it was a good choice! Fruit Punch tasted more like candy than a vitamin; they were bursting with delicious berry flavors and the consistency felt like freshly-made taffy. Since I’m on a diet right now, I was mostly curious about the calories, and looks like there are about 20 per taffy. Considering that one serving is 2 chews, that’s not too bad – it’s about a quarter of what you get from a medium-sized banana.
Let’s talk results. I’ve been taking Beauty Bursts for a month, and I noticed the plumping effect almost immediately – I think it took less than a week to see the change. I don’t really have wrinkles yet, but sometimes I feel like my skin is already feeling the pull of gravity and doesn’t look as firm anymore. Beauty Bursts plumped it full of water, so now my face and neck look more lifted than before, giving my skin a more youthful appearance.
My nails were the last thing that got to feel the effect. I noticed almost no change until week four, but finally they seem to have adjusted to Beauty Bursts and stopped being so brittle. They’re still thin, but they don’t seem to break as often, and that’s good enough for me.
It’s important to note that the effect disappears pretty quickly as soon as you stop taking the supplement. I took a little break and noticed the loss of firmness right away. It makes perfect sense though, after all, I am “supplementing” my body with extra collagen that it no longer produces, and when I stop, it just keeps on working at the usual pace. I came to a conclusion that I might have to keep on taking collagen supplements for the rest of my life if I want to keep my skin looking younger. While that sounds like an unnecessary commitment for the sake of vanity, it’s actually not that big of a deal. Collagen is a wonderful supplement for overall body health, that works well for more than just your looks. Think healthy joints, muscles, bones, and faster post-workout recovery, that you can benefit from at any age. That sounds more reasonable, doesn’t it?
